Ronan chuckled lightly. "Of course, I hope you can make it in time. Otherwise, everything will be in vain!"Sadie said, "Maybe, by the time you get there, our great-uncle will already be cured. You should know that Dark Phoenix has recently healed many prominent figures; her medical skills are remarkable."Chad turned to Willow. "My phone is broken. Please give me your phone and buy a new one when you can. I'll pay you back when I return."Willow nodded. "Yes, Dr. Jennings. I can buy a new one myself; you don't need to worry about the money."Chad took Willow's phone and got into a Mercedes Sprinter. Ronan and Sadie did not accompany him.Once inside the vehicle, Chad inserted his SIM card into the phone and saw dozens of missed calls and messages, mostly from Matilda and Youlee. Ignoring them, he put the phone away and closed his eyes to rest.Chad eagerly anticipated meeting Dark Phoenix, hoping it would be their most peaceful encounter.That was his main reason for agreeing t
The driver's tattoo was a black fox head, indicating that the driver had a guardian immortal and was a shaman.The black fox was the most powerful among the Fox family spirits in the northeastern shamanic system. The black fox guarded the household while the white fox served the shaman. The Fox family's roles were divided very specifically.After a two-hour drive, the car exited the highway at an off-ramp. Chad saw the sign indicating they were in Orcreek, a small town adjacent to Bloomington.That puzzled Chad. After seeing Micah in Jeems County, that esteemed elder, Tenan, was also in such a small town.Did those former high-ranking officials choose to retire in such places?The car soon entered a narrow road flanked by endless wheat fields. After about 20 minutes, they arrived at an estate.Once out of the car, Ronan also arrived shortly after."Dr. Jennings, please come in!" Ronan said with a smile, leading the way into the courtyard.Upon entering, Chad felt like he had en
Chad stepped out of the bedroom and saw an old man and a young man standing outside.Ronan sneered disdainfully, "Finnley, aren't you doing well in Saffronesia? Why are you back?"Finnley smiled humbly and adjusted his glasses. "Great-uncle is seriously ill. Of course, I had to come back! Besides, I brought Dr. Mueller, a great medical god from Saffronesia. He will surely be able to cure Great-uncle!"Ronan scoffed, "Oh, really? Are you that confident?"Finnley replied proudly, "Of course, you don't know how superior Saffronesian medicine is compared to Hacniane medicine!"Jasper respectfully asked, "Excuse me, where is the patient? May I see him?"Ronan laughed derisively. "He's in the bedroom, but I must warn you, my great-uncle fought against Saffronesian soldiers in the past and has hundreds of Saffronesian lives on his hands!"That statement was not an exaggeration. The senior members of the cabinet were all veterans from that era. Tenan was one of the top generals in the c
Perhaps the Ward family believed their actions were concealed enough that no one would realize Tenan had been attacked. However, Chad, Dark Phoenix, and Jasper could see Tenan's condition clearly.Ronan sneered, "What are you implying? Are you suggesting that we, his family, injured him? That's ridiculous.""Ronan, shut up!" Mercer ordered, casting a cold glance over the three doctors. "Whether the old man fainted or was attacked, we'll know when he wakes up!"Mika said, "Exactly. Didn't someone say they could wake him up right now? Let's wake him up and find out."Chad smirked internally. Those old foxes had deftly shifted the problem back to the doctors.However, Jasper said, "That's not possible. The patient has a cerebral hemorrhage. Even if he wakes up, he might lose his ability to speak."Everyone could hear that Jasper, the Saffronesian, genuinely cared about the patient's well-being.Chad also observed Jasper's diagnostic techniques, confirming that he was a very orthodo
"Dr. Jennings is right!" Toby suddenly said excitedly. "Let's wake him up and let him identify the culprit himself! If anything goes wrong during the process, I'll take full responsibility! I want to see if you, his blood relatives, are truly filial!"Mika's face turned ugly as he shouted angrily, "Even though you're technically my uncle's godson, you're still an outsider. What authority do you have to bear the consequences?"Before Toby could respond, Dark Phoenix suddenly walked into the bedroom. Before anyone could react, she had already administered the vial of Evergrow to Tenan."I don't understand why you're all dawdling. Saving a life is saving a life—so much unnecessary talk!" Dark Phoenix's words left everyone speechless.She then exited the bedroom and looked solemnly at Chad."It's up to you now!" she said.Chad, unperturbed, glanced into the bedroom and saw that Tenan's body was already enveloped in a black mist.The Evergrow had started to transform his body. Howeve
Before Chad could think of a way to collect the Evergrow, Third Grandpa Fox had already licked it clean. Satisfied, Third Grandpa Fox smiled and looked at Tenan. "Kid, you're lucky this time! You didn't die!"Tenan opened his eyes in confusion, feeling the astonishing changes in his body, and gave a bitter smile. "They just think this old loner is in their way!"Then, Chad said, "Did you know that Sir Lawson and Dr. Healy, the miracle healer from the capital, have both passed away?"Tenan was taken aback and asked in shock, "When did this happen?"Chad told him and also mentioned that Micah had already gone to the frontline.The frontline was a codename for the firmament, and Tenan naturally understood the implication of Chad's words, becoming even more shocked."Hmph! These people only care about money and power. They don't realize I should've been going to the frontline this time!" Tenan said angrily, shakily getting up and reaching out to stroke Third Grandpa Fox's head.Thir
"Mr. Hart!"The Wards did not expect Mr. Hart to come, and they all went to greet him. However, Rustin was only concerned about Tenan's safety and completely ignored them, instead looking at Toby."Toby, you're here too. How's Mr. Ward?"Toby smiled and said, "Don't worry. Dr. Jennings is treating my godfather; the problem isn't serious!"However, that remark provoked Ronan's anger. "What do you mean the problem isn't serious? It's been an hour, and they still haven't come out. Didn't you say he could be cured? This is taking too long!"That obvious nitpicking made Rustin frown deeply. Rustin was quite familiar with the situation of the Wards.When Tenan retired from the cabinet and did not return home, it was because he did not want to get involved in the family's internal strife. It seemed that even though he hid in Orcreek, he still could not escape the schemes of those unfilial descendants.All the Wards looked at Toby. The situation could not be clearer.Toby spread the ne
"Finnley, you bastard! You're ruthless enough to want to kill even us!"Finnley hurriedly hid behind his father, crying out his innocence, "It wasn't me! My birth date is among them, and so is my father's. If you want to know who it is, just look at whose birthdate isn't there."Then, Mercer spoke up, "Who else could it be? Of course, it's missing the birthdates of Matias' family!"As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into a deathly silence.The three Ward brothers were the eldest, Matias, the second, Mercer, and the third, Mika. The three brothers were highly influential in political and business circles and ruled the three northeastern provinces!However, they were cousins. Mercer and Mika's fathers had passed away long ago, while Matias' father had died five years ago.Just then, Mercer's phone rang. It was Matias!"Mercer, how's Uncle?"Mercer glanced at Mika beside him and sighed, saying, "I'm not sure yet, but the situation looks very bad.""Really! I'll be
